--- Comment #8 from temp.o5...@slmail.me --- > This makes me think that you choose to open html pages in an external > application rather than display them inside Konqueror. Please, go to the > File Associations page of Konqueror configuration dialog, expand the "text" > element in the list and select the "html" entry (you can also enter > text/html in the filter box to make finding the entry easier).

Try setting it first to "Use > settings for text group" and, if nothing changes, to "Show file in embedded > viewer". This should force Konqueror to always show html pages itself rather > than opening in an external application. This was what finally worked! Though I have no idea why it would not default to using the embedded viewer; I haven't seen or changed that setting since installing Konqueror. > Most likely, this is because you have preloading enabled in Konqueror.

Preloading was already turned off - even now starting this way simply returns to the command prompt. Now that the browser does render pages - if I set it to remember the previous session, then it opens up with the last open web page and 5 additional blank windows. Also it doesn't respect the default browser setting and hijacks it. Even if I change the default browser in Plasma system settings back to what I had before, after a while it reverts to Konqueror. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
